Interesting. But what about spoken word recordings???????  While ARSC  
developed out of the Music Library Assoc, and IASA developed out of  
the International Assoc of Music Libraries, spoken word archives and  
recordings have always been an important part of ARSC and IASA.  Does  
MIR deal ONLY with music?????  Sound is sound, ain't it??
